Paul Scicchitano and Kathleen Walter:
"Florida Congressman Allen West believes that Friday’s dismal jobs report will back President Barack Obama into a corner and make him a “desperate person” with the election now five months away.
“When you’re a desperate person — much the same as a cat being cornered – you’re going to come out and really fight even stronger,” predicted West in an exclusive interview with Newsmax shortly after the Labor Department reported that employers had created only 69,000 jobs in May — the fewest in a year — while the unemployment rate ticked up. Together, the news fueled fears that the economy is heading in the wrong direction under Obama's stewardship.
“I think that the president’s policies are failing the American people,” explained West. “We have now hit 40 consecutive months of unemployment in the United States of America at or above 8 percent.”...."

SandBoxBlogs: The Atlantic "Jobs Report Brings Bad News for Team Obama"
Catherine Hollander:
"The latest jobs report is bad news for the economy and for the Obama administration. April's disappointing payroll numbers confirm that the economy is slowing again on the heels of a winter in which the recovery appeared to be finally picking up steam.
If job growth continues at this rate, unemployment will remain at or above the politically-important 8 percent level before Election Day, according to Hamilton Place Strategies' Patrick Sims. Sims calculates that it will take monthly payroll growth of 176,000 to get below 8 percent by November -- unless more Americans drop out of the labor force, or stop looking for work. That's what caused the April headline unemployment rate to fall from 8.2 to 8.1 percent; labor force participation is now at its lowest point in 31 years. That's not the story an incumbent president wants to tell....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Town Hall "10 Things That Would Be Happening Today If Obama's Policies Were Working"
John Hawkins:
"Barack Obama has "already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined." Yet, despite the fact that he has been campaigning almost non-stop since the 2010 election, aside from trying to steal credit from the SEALs for killing Osama Bin Laden, you very seldom hear Obama talk about his record. This is especially noteworthy because like him or hate him, Obama has passed a lot of legislation. So, if Barack Obama has such an extensive record, why is it that Republicans are the ones that are always talking about it while Obama tries to steer the conversation to anything else? Simple: Obama is a failed President. His policies haven't worked. If Obama had actually produced results, the country would look very different today....." (Read more? Click title)

SandBoxBlogs: Bloomberg "Cooling Job Market Takes Toll on U.S. Confidence: Economy"
Timothy R. Homan and Shobhana Chandra:
"...“There has been some slowdown in the labor market,” said Yelena Shulyatyeva, a U.S. economist at BNP Paribas in New York, who correctly projected the level of jobless claims. “That makes consumers feel less confident, and makes them more cautious about their spending. We could see some weakness in April payrolls.”

Fewer firings are needed to lay the groundwork for more hiring and support consumer demand, which makes up 70 percent of the economy. Another report today showed that signed contracts to buy homes rose more than forecast in March, more evidence of a stabilizing housing market that may boost confidence...." (Read more? Click title)
SandBoxBlogs: Washington Times "When hit by Obama, Romney’s reply is ‘jobs’"
Seth McLaughlin:
"When it comes to tailoring his message, Mitt Romney has adopted a one-size-fits-all philosophy: There’s little that his economic message can’t do.
As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seeks to push back against President Obama’s support among women, Hispanics and young voters, Mr. Romney in each case has argued that the current administration has failed to produce jobs for them — and he vows to do better.
He also has tacked to the political middle, urging Republicans in Congress to extend student-loan subsidies, announcing support for extending the Violence Against Women Act and signaling that he is open to an immigration solution that could legalize some immigrant youths....."

SandBox Comments: Town Hall/Bob Beauprez "Where are the jobs?"
Bob Beauprez:
"Three years ago yesterday Barack Obama signed his $800 billion Stimulus into law in Denver, Colorado.
He said would save or create 4 million jobs and that the unemployment rate would be below 6% by now.
He failed.
Obama’s spending didn’t stop with the Stimulus of course. In fact he’s piled up more than $4 trillion of new debt during his first three years with more than a trillion of additional red ink expected this year...."
